BANGKOK - Thai police have arrested 9 people on suspicion of killing 13 Chinese sailors in the Golden Triangle on Mekong River earlier this month, Zhang Xinfeng, China's Vice-Minister of public security, said Friday.
中国安全部副部长张新风周五表示泰国警方已经抓获月初在湄公河金三角劫杀13名中国船员的9名犯罪嫌疑人。
Zhang declined to identify the suspects, saying further investigation is under way. He made the announcement after meeting Thai police chief Pol Gen Priewpan Damapong.
张会见了泰国警察总长别乌班后发表了这项通告。不过他拒绝透露嫌疑人身份，他表示进一步的调查还在进行中。
The victims aboard two cargo ships were hijacked and shot dead by a group of unidentified gunmen on October 5 in a section of Mekong River that forms the border of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. Their bodies were found and salvaged from the river in northern Thailand afterward.
